Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius said Western governments are considering allowing Iran to continue some uranium enrichment, as part of a possible deal to resolve a decade-old dispute that Tehran says it wants to reach within six months.

"It's conditional. It is not a done deal, but nevertheless it is a possibility to explore," he said. "Thanks to this rapprochement. How it will look, we don't know." Lithuania will head the EU Council until the end of 2013. (Reuters)
